    True, we don't really know. The reason I don't like the Peter comparison is that Wladimir was less confident then than he is now, and he did win nearly every round except for the ones in which he was knocked down. And Peter is a bigger puncher than Alexander, a key factor when taking on Wladimir.

    I think Peter/Povetkin would be a very interesting fight, and the HW version of David Haye also might pose a threat to him. I like Alex and respect his work ethic, though, so hopefully he'll keep winning.

    Haye? I am not sold on him yet.Lets wait and see how he fares against some decent heavies!

    Sam Peter a bigger puncher than Povetkin? I dont know,lampley.
    Vidoz stopped both Peter and Brook at the olympics,and neither Vidoz nor Peter nor Brook could hold a candle to Povetkin at the amateurs.I know that the pros are a different game,but IMO Sam Peter is more or less on Sinan Samil Sam 's level.Sam has pop in his fists,but he is no Tua or Virchis.

    All the eastern European heavyweights are **** other than Wlad, nothign special at all. Chagaev is wank, Povetkin hasnt got any power.. Haye going to clean the division out

    Theres no way Povetkin is ready for Wald, its just not a smart move on Povetkins part. The kid is skilled, but he doesn't do anything particularly well. It was obvious in the chambers fight that he had some problems with Chambers's speed, it took him about 4 rounds to figure Chambers out. Against Wlad his not gone have those 4 rounds. If a few of those Rights from Wlad land, his gone be cut or Ko'd. To beat Wlad you need to have an iron chin and heavy hands. I don't care what people say, Povetkin is not a puncher, every stoppage Ive seen has been due to accumilation and trust me his not gone be able to land 4 punch combos on Wlad. Peter still presents the biggest risk to Wlad.
